Episode notes

This week, we discuss Liverpool loanee Leighton Clarkson’s career trajectory after his talents were on full display for Aberdeen against St Johnstone - Can he perform well consistently? Would bulking up make him even better? Plus, Sean Wallace talks up his player of the season so far, veteran Jonny Hayes. How long he could stick around at Aberdeen? Will the Dons build on their win v Saints against Livi, and ahead of their Annan cup clash? Ross County’s win against Kilmarnock was a Premiership psychological boost, although they were on the end of some good fortune in terms of the refereeing. Can Inverness show their miserable night at Partick was an early Championship blip? The early pressure on Cove Rangers shows the standards expected at both the Balmoral Stadium and in the second tier, generally, while the panel also discuss Peterhead’s exciting new signing and hard-to-beat Elgin City.
